Abstract
A screwdriver handle structure includes a handle having a storage compartment. The compartment comprises a number recesses to store screw heads therein. The handle is provided with a locator having a trough to receive an engaging device therein. The handle further comprises sliding sections to secure a sliding cover thereon in order to store screw heads.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates to a screwdriver handle structure, and more particularly to a handle having a compartment with a sliding cover to store screw heads in the compartment.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- A conventional screwdriver bears only one head, which is not convenient to a user. Thus a screwdriver with exchangeable head was derived. The screw heads may be exchanged to different purposes, however, due to the compact sizes of the screw heads, they may be lost accidentally. Therefore, a screwdriver with a storage compartment in the handle was derived, as shown in
FIG. 4 , which comprises a front handle body A. A compartment A1 is formed in the front handle body A to receive a rear handle body A2 which comprises a number of recesses A3 to store screw heads B. This design adds a rear handle body in order to store screw heads B, which increases the cost and makes the handle heavier. - It is the primary objective of the present invention to provide a screwdriver handle structure, which comprises a compartment with a sliding cover to store screw heads therein.
- It is a further objective of the present invention to provide a screwdriver handle structure, which modifies the original handle to add a storage compartment without adding any extra parts nor does it change the shape.
- It is another objective of the present invention to provide a screwdriver handle structure, which is easy to operate and is cost-effectiveness.
-
FIG. 1 is an exploded view of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a side view of the present invention with partial sectioned; -
FIG. 3 is a view similar toFIG. 2 in an open status; and -
FIG. 4 is an exploded view of a prior art. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , the present invention comprises ahandle 1, anengaging device 2, and asliding cover 3. - The
handle 1 comprises asleeve 11 at the front end and astorage compartment 12 within thehandle 1. Thecompartment 12 comprises a number ofrecesses 13 therein. A pair of sliding sections which can be slidingstrips 14 are formed on respective sides of thecompartment 12. Alocator 15 having atrough 16 is formed on one end of thehandle 1. - The
engaging device 2 is placed in thetrough 16. Theengaging device 2 is a bead with anelastic element 21 seating underneath. - The sliding
cover 3 comprises a slidingtrough 31 on the inner edge with a pair of locatingholes 32 at respective ends of thetrough 31, and a pair of sliding sections which can be slidingchannels 33 to be meshed with thesliding strips 14. - To assemble the present invention, as shown in
FIG. 2 , theengaging device 2 with theelastic element 21 is placed into thetrough 16 of thelocator 15 of thehandle 1. The slidingcover 3 is slid onto thehandle 1 by means of aligning the twosliding channels 33 with the twosliding strips 14 of thehandle 1 so thecompartment 12 is covered by the slidingcover 3. Thelocator 15 of thehandle 1 protrudes into the slidingtrough 31. Theengaging device 2 is located in one of the locatingholes 32. - To operate the present invention, as shown in
FIG. 3 , thesliding cover 3 is pushed outwardly with respect to thehandle 1 with thesliding channels 33 sliding along thesliding strips 14. Theengaging device 2 will be retreated from the locatinghole 32 when the slidingcover 3 reaches to the endmost of thehandle 1. Theengaging device 2 will locate in the other locatinghole 32, which secures the slidingcover 3 in place. Thus the user may pick up or put back screw heads into thecompartment 12, and then the slidingcover 3 may be pushed back to its original position.
